Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2
Description
The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the ScStoragePathFromUrl function in the WebDAV service in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long header beginning with "If: <http://" in a PROPFIND request. The vulnerability has been exploited in the wild.
Recommendations
For Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2, apply the necessary patch to fix the buffer overflow vulnerability in the ScStoragePathFromUrl function. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the WebDAV service in IIS 6.0 to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the
If header with long URLs in PROPFIND requests until the issue is resolved.Exploit
